April’s Membership Meeting brings Eric Schwartz to our club via videoconference for a presentation and Q&A

Eric Schwartz is the founder of Duathlon.com, a website with daily triathlon and duathlon news. He served on the USA Triathlon Board of Directors and the USAT Athletes’ Advisory Council. Eric ran at Indiana University and competed in duathlons and triathlons for 16 years before retiring. In 2004 he was the US Duathlon National Champion and that same year he finished 8th at Ironman Wisconsin.

Eric created the podcast Triathlete Training. He has interviewed Olympians, coaches, exercise physiologists and sports-minded entrepreneurs. He covers areas such as heat acclimation, diet, training plans, hyponatremia, aerodynamics and more in his podcasts. You can listen to Eric’s recorded podcasts at http://triathletetraining.com.

We will be having the meeting at MOREnet (where we had our December meeting) because it has the capability to bring Eric in via videoconference with state-of-the-art equipment. There is plenty of room and three screens to display the videoconference.

We will also it be providing Pickleman’s and other snacks at the meeting. Jazz is conveniently located right below MOREnet if anyone would like to meet up and enjoy extended social time and adult beverages before or after the meeting since we will not be able to serve alcohol at the meeting site.
